Statin drugs send messages to your liver to STOP making any more cholesterol—so… the liver sends the sugar back OUT to your bloodstream and now you get diagnosed with type II diabetes.

Key Points…

Statins deplete vitamin D and reduce the body’s ability to create active vitamin D (calcitriol)— a substance that is eventually converted to its active hormone form;

Statins reduce cholesterol — you must have cholesterol to make vitamin D;

Statins also suppress your natural coenzyme Q10 — responsible for making energy in every cell in your body, primarily produced in your liver;

99 out of 100 people do NOT need a statin drug;

Part of seeing past the drug propaganda is to understand that cholesterol is NOT the cause of heart disease. If your physician is urging you to check your total cholesterol, then you should know that this test will tell you virtually nothing about your risk of heart disease, unless it is 330 or higher.

Scientifically Speaking…
We all know how important antioxidants are to our health and longevity. We also know that diagnosed cases of type II diabetes are currently in epidemic proportions in the U.S. What do those facts have to do with this investigative report? Everything.

Coenzyme Q10, for example, is not only a powerful antioxidant
it also plays a major role in maintaining healthy blood glucose levels; when you’re prescribed a statin drug, it depletes your levels of CoQ10, hence losing the benefit of blood glucose
regulation. Additionally, a study published in the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition determined that raising vitamin
D serum levels from 25 to 75 nmol/L can improve insulin
sensitivity by a whopping 60 percent; even the diabetes drug
Metformin® only reduces blood sugar by approximately 13
percent, according to the New England Journal of Medicine.

Other significant benefits of supplementation with CoQ10 is
its ability to reduce cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure,
and cognitive decline, not to mention protecting your
body from oxidative stresses.

Optimizing Cholesterol Levels, Naturally

Here’s a fact worth digesting…

75 percent of your cholesterol is produced by your liver, which
is influenced by your insulin levels. That said, if you optimize
insulin levels, you will automatically optimize cholesterol.
It follows, then, that my primary recommendations for safely
regulating your cholesterol have to do with modifying your diet
and lifestyle:

Reduce, with the goal of eventually eliminating, grains and sugars in your diet and consume a good portion of your food raw (salads and especially juicing)—if you juice, I recommend you use a juicer that maintains the pulp instead of extracting it;

Every cell in our body is surrounded by a cell membrane
composed mainly of fatty acids. The cell membrane allows
the proper amounts of necessary nutrients to enter the cell
ensuring that cell waste products are quickly removed from
the cell.

Studies prove that a relatively small amount of omega-3
food sources have a measurable impact on your blood levels
of omega-3s. For example, two weekly servings of non-fried
omega-3 containing fish are enough to boost your blood levels.

*Keep in mind that coconut oil is the ONLY oil that maintains
its healthy integrity whether cold or hot, as in cooking. When
olive oil is heated to cooking temperatures it becomes a toxic
carcinogen. Olive and other oils are best used as ingredients
in their natural states like in salad dressings or drizzled on the
food after cooking.

Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol excessively.

Be sure to get plenty of good, restorative sleep.

Unlike statin drugs, which lower your cholesterol at the expense of your health, these lifestyle strategies represent a wholistic approach that will benefit your overall health—which includes a healthy cardiovascular system and cognitive functions.

The Way I See It…
In summary, if you take a statin medication and you’ve been
told you have diabetes, it may be drug-induced, and it’s possible
that it can be reversed over the course of time. However, you
will have to eat right, exercise, and take supplements that help
to lower your risk for heart disease naturally.
